MY JOURNEY

Sunday, April 27, 2014, I began to hunt guerrilla landscape photo. Always set off in the early morning around 5:00 am, because I love the atmosphere cool and not a lot of air pollution on the highway which is usually always packed with the volume of vehicles on the road so add crowdid atmosphere, and the craze of CO2 pollution.

This photo is Rainbow Falls or the local designation is Coban Pelangi. Why is he often called Rainbow rainbow appeared above the cliff tops, meaning Waterfall Coban. According to government information is the Rainbow Falls entrance region under the protection of nature conservation forestry Malang, East Java, Indonesia.

The waterfall region of mountains and the road to get there is very beautiful and clean although many across the winding streets and steep, with a slope of approximately 45 degrees.

I really liked the location of this waterfall because the place is in a very clean and comfortable through and the number of places to dispose of waste that has been provided, at any distance less than 50 meters there is always a small shop clean and well maintained. I was amazed at the cleanliness of this resort because I know most of the tourist attractions in East Java looks dirty full of garbage with no one to clean it ...... very embarrassing.

Each of my hunting at the beach or forest always looks disappointing garbage scattered everywhere to make me sad and disappointed at the behavior of this nation.

Rainbow Falls is flowing from a cliff with a height of approximately 94 meters. The road that I have taken to achieve this much past the waterfall stairs to order materials from bamboo rod looks very natural, neat and beautiful.

When I came there was not lucky because the rainbow does not appear, said local people do not frequent the appearance of a rainbow. The information I get from the website Malang East Java, the emergence of a refracted rainbow cliff tops, which became the origin of the Coban planting.

Hopefully sights Coban Pelangi is always beautiful and clean until whenever. My hope for the tourist attractions in East Java, such as the beach or the woods should always keep clean and take care of what we have as a child when we would the next of generation mimic what people used to do. And be an example to other countries! "

"I LOVE U Coban Pelangi"

Thank you to the people who have to maintain and take care of him! "<<<<<<<< Godbless U.

Thank you for visiting !!! "

I set out to use public transport due to the location which is very difficult to reach by car .

In the morning I had started out with the rise of public transport ie buses . any termination of regions I have changed vehicles to get to the location which is very difficult in a regular vehicle mileage since many are broken pavement and very deep holes , only experienced people or locals who can drive me up at the destination .

The most sad if I have to use public transport because it always feels like urinating , and if I have to pee I have to run for the toilet terminal before the bus departed , fearing to miss .

There is a sense of comfortable and uncomfortable if you have to use public transport , namely a sense of comfort not drive myself but the discomfort is to be joined by a wide range of people in a bus with body odor ...... lol .

Short said after a long journey arrived at the terminal Sempol deadline which is the end point of a terminal . He said if you want to continue longer have to use a bike for transportation only owned it .

In the terminal Sempol I find a driver willing to take public transportation to the final destination is " Paltuding " which places the last post in the crater of Mount Ijen .

Finally, we set out to mix another passenger who lived not far from the village . Many passengers who buy the necessities of life of the city such as : sugar , coffee , rice , and there are carry livestock and others to be brought to the village .

Their lives are very concerned because I see first hand their homes and their children . But their faces are always smiling . Maybe that's their gratitude to God and nature give life around .

The journey takes a long time because the driver must deliver passengers one by one . Until I reached the goal post Paltuding end at about 5:00 pm the afternoon. Back the driver offering his services to pick with the provisions of the time that he made , I will not want to be bound by time .

Immediately, my husband rushed rent rooms but all the rooms full of just staying one room without a bathroom in the sense of using public bathrooms at the rate of 100,000 rupiah ( 10 Dollars ) . We would not want to take because it was night time and needed a break .

Locals tell if you want to climb around 2:30 AM , as the smoke coming out of the crater of Mount Ijen is not too much . In a room with a size of 2 meters x 2 meters I could not sleep because of the cold and hard mattress makes me hard to rest for hours is hard to close my eyes .

Until I hear a lot of people outside to prepare for the climb . I see shows watches at 2:00 AM , Do not want to wait much longer , my husband and I were off .

In the climb I was always upset and angry emotions I often peaking because the air smells of sulfur that exists around the mountain was overpowering , to make me a dry mouth and throat .

In the end all the anger and upset that I was a natural , beautiful scenery erased by following up on the mountain top . The eye feels stared at the grace of God . Lots of tourists come from local and foreign tourists.

Perhaps with this trip , I tested to always control emotions and a lot of lessons that I take away from this trip is practice patience , intelligence and empathy towards others .

Papuma Beach warmth with the children add joy magnificent, with innocence and pranks they give an exotic feel. Their behavior funny provide their own entertainment.

This photo I took at the site of Jember in East Java province. "Beaches Papuma" epithet with blue sea water and white sand as if giving a beautiful dream and a deep longing for the natural surroundings.

I traveled to this location about 6 hours. A lot of visitors who come from different regions, and bring all their families. Happiness that look on their faces while releasing their kids play on the beach.

Very hot weather of 37 degrees or less not imprison them for letting their children play in the scorching sun.

I take shelter under a large tree in the moment enough to shelter from the sun that can not be received directly by the skin. I see the kids play scramble interesting boat anchor rope in anchor by its owner, does not care how hot the sand on the beach and even sea water feels hot.

Time show at 12:00 pm with hot air and a location filled with visitors and also full of garbage. Here I purposely did not take the rubbish scattered everywhere from food supplies visitors ...... It is very eronis all.

On the one hand they need refreshing but bad habits that they can not change. There is a sense of disgust began clung mind and began to feel uncomfortable with dirty atmosphere ..... Very regrettable once! "

"Hopefully next year there is a fundamental change and certainly better!" "If we have pride and a great shame that there will not be that deviant behavior!"

While the mood began to appear at the right time , I decided to hunt photos at Mount Bromo in Probolinggo East Java, Indonesia . This photo was taken by my husband using the Samsung Galaxy Note smartphone , on Sunday September 8, 2013. Bromo mountain 2,329 meters high (7,641 ft), Mount Bromo has a crater with a diameter of 800 meters or less. Erupted last time in 2010,  and the type of mountain is still active (stratovolcano).

I left the house to go to the city of Probolinggo on Saturday night at 10:00 PM , on September 7, 2013 . I prepared all the supplies ahead of time to check all the car including engine needs . Not a lot of other equipment that I take it because it is not for the purpose of stay .

Exactly at 10:00 PM on Saturday I went with my husband . I most like to travel out of town when the night, as well as a cool atmosphere and not a lot of vehicles on the highway passing . Night trip is exciting to play Pink Floyd music , Jazz , Soul music , Pat Metheny , Gary Moore , and We are young by Nate Ruess ...... ohhh cool love it .

The ride never stopped because I had to fast to Mount Bromo for not wanting to miss the coming sunrise . At about 1:00 AM I've been in the village area Ngadisari location , where in the travel route is fabulous with twists and climbs a horrible but very exciting .

Lots of twists and inclines with a slope of approximately 45 degrees about the startling because the atmosphere is so dark and the volume of vehicles that pass through the route was relatively quiet . It was rather alarming . Surprisingly the weather was not so cold in the mountains , I think the effect of the number of trees cut to be made in the fields of agriculture, not like it used to chill until breathless when breathing , as if the blood is to be frozen .

A lot of which came in that night until I find hard to place the destination car park . In the end there is a car parking attendants directing me to ride again because there was no place to park .

After I parked the car park interpreter was asking "whether want to rent a Jeep with the price 450.000 Rupiah ( 50 U.S. Dollars ) !" Among others, the route taken Penanjakan place or location where the sunrise and it appears that these two were to directly to Mount Bromo to directly see the smoke coming out of the hole that is shaped like a ring .

And park interpreter that provides another alternative when it saw me coming because only two people and they only offer a Ojek called here ( motorcycle ) at a cost of 200.000 Rupiah ( 20 U.S. Dollars ) . I strongly agree with the second alternative by using cheap and Ojek next challenge is even more adrenaline , because of past extensive sand flats make frequent motorcycle wheel slip .

I love these places because a lot of changes around the place , among others, the cleanliness , the friendliness of the locals and the atmosphere is very natural . I've been coming to this place is very dirty lots of trash everywhere to make me disgusted to come back . I appreciate the hard work of local governments always pay attention to environmental cleanliness and friendliness of its people .

Environmental awareness and hopefully such a system to be maintained , so they can bring a lot of local and foreign tourists .

Thank you very much for the visited , and I really appreciate your time .

5:00 am at Sunday of September 1, 2013 ..... time show was nearing sunrise but I'm still looking for the right location for shooting . Not a lot of plans in my brain , because I just wanted to set foot without having programmed with a plan that is always dull .

By swinging the bike I continue to browse the highway to go to the village outposts still fairly quiet , although the region entered a big city ( Surabaya ) . Because the lives of the locals still looks very improper even under the poverty line . This photo I took in the Mangrove Gunung Anyar the called names, area Recent in Surabaya , East Java, Indonesia.

When entering the Mangrove areas are not many visitors who come only a few pedestrians and cyclists like me . I pedal the bike continued until well into the innermost region , the quiet atmosphere as seen many boats at anchor and the owner is still sleeping , because day-to- day activities .

Month of July , 2013, this place was visited by the President of Indonesia and it still feels sightings pictures of President 're planting seeds for reforestation and the big picture is still stuck at the entrance Mangrove .

There is a sense of amused and cynical crossed my mind , for what is to come if the President does not help the economy of small people according to its promises while campaigning in the presidential election . Looks like he's just doing tasks and responsibilities as head of state but not with the heart .

I see a lot on the outskirts of the river stood the uninhabitable building with materials from waste scraps . I had a time to capture this image because it looks clear that the higher the social gap between the rich and the poor , made ​​me feel like lifting things in perspective during the eye by some people .

There is a saturation point and greed in the human brain where we are confronted by two choices between rich or poor life , but the thing to remember is every human being was born from the womb of a different with different backgrounds . No one human child was born wanting to live in poverty , but again we must be wise and caring look around . " Is not the experience is a good teacher ? "

I think the key to the success of a leader has a heart , ears and eyes , not a lot of promises and hiding behind the magnificent palace .

Thank you to all visitor who many give support , and I really appreciate your time . Once again thank you very much . Have a wonderful day with camera . Take care ! ! ! ! "
